TOKYO -- Isuzu Motors will start mass producing electric commercial trucks next year, becoming the first Japanese company to enter a market dominated by Chinese and European manufacturers, Nikkei has learned.
Isuzu has developed a vehicle platform that can be used for 1,500 types of vehicles for use in logistics and other industries, where demand for electric trucks is growing. The automaker looks to sell the trucks for around the same price as those powered by diesel in the future.
